[TruthTalk] Once saved, always saved?

[ShieldsFamily]

Glenn, I was wondering what your position is on the “once saved, always saved” issue. I don’t swallow it. I don’t think you do either, but I wanted to verify that. Izzy   PS It is hard for me to believe the Holy Spirit told you anything about Marlin because your attitude towards him seems so unlike the Holy Spirit. That’s what “blinds” me!   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 11:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Hitler and Marlin   AGREED.  If Marlin will tell us (I have asked this several times before.) that we can be in right standing with God and not observe the Old Testament Sabbath, I will retract my statement of him being a Judaizer.  I will accept him as a weak brother.  But a Judaizer is not a brother in Christ because they are fallen from grace.  NOW IF ETERNAL SECURITY IS CORRECT, THEN A JUDAIZER CAN BE A WEAK BROTHER IN CHRIST.  Eternal security teaches one can fall from grace and at the same time still be saved and on his way to heaven. PS.  Why can't you see that Marlin teaches that you must follow the Old Testament Sabbath in order to be in right standing with God?  I am taking a Biblical position of loving him enough to tell him the truth.  He is fallen from grace.  Gal. 5:4.  His soul could be on your hands for letting him think he is right with God.  If he can still be a weaker Christian and fall from grace at the same time, then eternal security is a Biblical doctrine.  Why can't you believe me when I said the Holy Spirit revealed to me who Marlin is?  What is it in your past or present life that blinds you so?

You are the one causing divisions here.  If Marlin is in sin, and if he carries leaven which will infect the body of Christ, then your division is good.  What agreement has light with darkness?  However, if Marlin is a brother in Christ with weaker faith, perhaps not as much liberty as you, then you are at fault.  You will be the one who will be marked as causing division.
